BATH. • -• (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT). WAVERING CONSERVATIVE WHIG DELINQUENCT.—The Burgesses elected a majority of what were supposed to be Re formers. Since Saturday several meetings of the Councillors kayo taken place : the results arc the most barefaced jobbings, which have hardly been equalled by the late 'l'ory Corpora tion. Mr. Jones first made a schism amongst the Conservative Whigs, proclaiming loudly against Mr. Crisp being an Alder- Man, because, although a very efficient man, he was a shop koeperi and contended, if the Councillors were against him, that he (Mr. Jones) ought to be an Alderman, and for six ;cars, • Several independent Burgesses were then named, and 'universally rejected by the wavering Conservative Whigs, and amongst others Mr. Allen, although requisitions were sent from two wards in his favour, - was also refused on the ground Of having too much Corporation property 1 Mr. Spender, the Chairman, for reasons too well known to the real Reforming Burgesses, then prevailed on the wavering Councillors to con form to the views of the Tories, and the result was, in their secluded midnight conclaves, that the Tories should nominate an equal number with themselves. They arc now shamefully beaten without a battle—we are now cursed with what is justly term e d " a milk and water Corporation," in lieu of the for mer " Pill-box Corporation." At these cabals the Chairman imposed on the Councillors, Owed readily acceded to by the tools) that their proceedings should be private, and considered as " Freemasonry." At these intriguing conclaves, the former Town Clerk and De fputy Chamberlain, and Deputy, are to be continued. Their our salaries arc 1,3001., besides enormous emoluments ! Others also are to be retained. Mr. Hcllings went deputed from St. Michael's Ward at twelve at night, it being hinted there was a "job," and solicited the true Reformers to be firm, and not to enter into any compromise with the Tories, and en- Areated them to firmly stand by the Burgesses, and with them :they should gloriously triumph, or with them nobly fall. This lad no effect, for many of the Reformers had left, and the Wave! ers had too far gone into this base coalition with the deep-united and overreaching Tories. Yesterday the Alder :men were chosen, which were agreed to at their secret ca bals. As the Councillors respectively entered the ball, the Burgesses requested their first meeting should be public. After waiting some time, tho Burgesses (upwards of 500) in the Mall, were clamorous at the doors being closed, when Mr. Allen (one of the unsuccessful candidates, and thrown out by the base and united stratagem s of the Tories and Conserva tive Whigs), then addressed the Burgesses by stating that, .23 yea.rs sin ce , h e stood on that very rostrum, and in that very tell, to poll the freemen; and on that occasion expended 1 ,000/. in endeavouring to effect their elective franchise. He ,contended against hole and corner meetings, and moved and 7arried a requisition that their Conncillors' proceedings should be open. The Conservative Whigs now in office refused the re q uisi tion. As th e y re ti re d t h ey encountered groans, hisses - Ro yells. The universal theme of the Burgesses was, they ta:ld now b e more careful in selecting the 21 Councillors next I N ' , ember, and then they could get a controlling power, and not be SO basely treated. It turned ou t t h at t h e reso l ut i ons at the cab a l s had been agreed t o , an d t h at t h e assembling of the Lucselicillors was a mere farce, and a mere matter of form—so nleb, for the wavering Conservative Whig apostacy. (From a Correspondent of the Morning_ Chronicle.) The election of aldermen has taken place, and confirms 'the fact of the general prevalen ce of Reform principles. The new Councillors have made a somewhat amicable arrangement, not ge nera ll y a p prove d o f i n t h eir c h oice 'of aldermen. 5o little time, however, was given between the election of Coun cillors and the election of Aldermen, that the course adopted was perhaps inevitable. Eight of the new Councilmen have been made Aldermen, and six persons, not Councillors, have been chosen to complete the number of fourteen. Of the :former, three are Tories and five Liberals, and of the latter, live are Liberals and one Tory. We then stand thus—thirty cAe to seventeen Tories, making the whole Corpo ration forty-eight in number, with eight vacancies, which cannot be filled up until the end of the year 1836. The re sult altogethe r very favourable to the reform interests, and I have related it to you in its worst aspect; for of the seven teen Whom I have called Tories, ten only voted for the Tory candid a t e at the last election. Mr. Blair, a very highly re spected gentleman,and a thorough Liberal, has been deter mined on as the first Mayor under the new Act, and was unani mously deputed to announce the names of the Aldermen elected to the assembled people. When he named Mr. Crisp among them, who was rejected in a somewhat Tory ward as a Councillor, and who, during an excited period was chairman of the local Political Union, the cheering was Ion; and loud, end was a just mark of the respect for his character. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. 31. The toevvssn councillor s to-day followed up the victory which the burg in thei r eic e e s c a this independent town won on Saturday last whole n u , Ther l "! by the appointment of ten Aldermen (the principles__all g m iv e e n n by the Act) of uncuestionably Liberal sure that the iim,-b-i, too, of character and property. We are o f f ants must see in have the interests this act, that the Council hethe town at heart, for no more worthy persons could any N „ be found to fill the important office to Which these gentleaj t e folion7ve been appointed. Their names and callings are as Mr. Anderson, merchant : Benjamin Bridges, bookseller and auationeer ; Ebenezer F. O ", tu t n er, banker and merchant ; H. Grafton, a gentleman of for ireerojector of the gas works in the town; .C. Hurnfrey, bae); C. Newby, surgeon ; James. Nutter, merchant Willia m, P a man of large fortune; Elliott ~.n i :- .. npson, a retired draper, iith, auctioneer; Henry Steward, brewer. To4norroW Thomas Howell, Esq., tnic,,_ f s athe r of Reform. in this borough, and a gentleman of inde k "lent fortune, will be elected Mayor. The old corporation have left their successors saddled with , y., eanbot: but feel atelarge debt and an empty exchequer : but 'the' town looking the character of the present governing bod • ' inte satisfied that the utmost attention will be paid. t o ,. m . . rest s , and will wait with confidence the adoption of 'g en. `uch.en sures a 3 may be necessary to finish the good work which they have begun. Afters() many years of misrule, it cannot be ex pected that the body politic should all at once assume a healthy condition, but under the new management we hope to see it reeover from its feeble state and become a useful instrument of local government, instead of the nuisance which it has so long been. The report of the Commissioners for inquiring into this Corporation (Messrs. Long and Buckle) is full of instruc tive matter, and it will be one of the most important duties of the new Council to ascertain if any steps can be adopted for bringing back, for the public service, some portion of the pro perty of the Corporation which has, at various times been made over to the members of the defunct body. In the course of the inquiry the following colloquy occurred : Mr. Commissioner Buckle observed that in 1820, the ex pense of Corporation dinners was 3771., whilst in 1832, it was only 271. 13s. " Mr. Harris, the town-clerk, said, that in the first men tioned year the Corporation only spent 841. in law, and had, therefore, more money to lay out in dinners. " Mr. Commissioner Long said the Corporation seemed to have kept a running account between law and dinners, so that they contrived to leave nothing for the benefit of the town." Is not this a sad picture ? Here is a Corporation expending enormous sums of the public money in feasting themselves whenever their account with the treasurer allowed them to squander the revenues, and only restrained from doing so at all times, because the litigation in which they had become in volved did not allow of its continuance. We are quite sure that we shall see no more of this species of corruption in the Corporation, and we heartily hope that this town will enjoy, in a large degree, all the benefits which tho Municipal Reform Act is so eminently calculated to bestow. COVENTRY, Dec. 31. Twelve Liberals of the right sort were elected this morning. The Reformers will not throw a chance away. We are now therefore completely relieved in this city from the old incubus of exclusive Tory Corporators-4 Tories only remaining to la ment the decease of their late short-sighted coadjutors in office, who systematically excluded from their body the Coventry Re formers. The following are the names of the aldermen : H. C. Adams, Esq. ; C. Harris, Esq. ; C. H. Menidew, Mr. John Phillips, of Stoke ; Mr. Beyan Dunn, Mr. Tho mas Tann, Mr. John Smith, Mr. Samuel Hannell, Mr. Jo seph Howe, Mr. Joseph Newton, Mr. William Sergeant, Mr. Mark Pearman.

GREAT GRIMSBY. The following is the result of the election of Councillors for this borough. The Tories expected to elect the whole batch, but could only manage a fourth, or three out of twelve, as the following list shows.

The choice of Town Councillors for this borough, notwith standing all the arts, tricks, threats, intimidations, promises, &c., of the Torics, both in town and the country round, has proved glorious to the Liberal cause. The names and num bers arc as follow : Liberals. Tories. G. Shipdem E. Andrews W. Marshall Capt. Hart W. Fritton, sen, W. Rayner J. Horton J. Cox 151 J. Watts 123 135 1-1. Mackeson 112 107 Capt. J. Mackeson 102 97 G. Finnis 104 94 94 93 91 —Kent Herald. LIVERPOOL-THURSDAY. The town has hardly yet recovered from the splendid vic tory achieved on Saturd iy last. The return of forty-three Reformers to the new Town Council, in conjunction with five Tories, is an event as important as it is gratifying. Liver pool, in the opinion of many, has long been considered a strong-hold of Toryism; but the contrary is the fact. The impression has, doubtless, arisen from the return of Lord Sandon as its Representative. But this will not appear very surprising, when it is remembered that the town labours under the incubus of the old freemen, amounting to nearly 4,000 in number, all of whom, with the exception of about 800, vote for his Lordship, and against his Liberal colleague, Mr. Ewart. The fact is, that the defunct Corporation, on ac count of its immense patronage, most materially influenced the men who employ the old freemen ; and as this patronage will, for the future, flow through a less corrupt channel, the chances are, that the great change which has taken place in cur local constitution, will be followed by another important change—the ejection of his Lordship at the next election. His fliends begin already to quake with fear. But nothing can so clearly demonstrate the feeling of tht great mass of the people of Liverpool with regard to Toryism so powerfully as the elections of Saturday last. On that occasion the old freemen were not permitted to vote except as householders, and there are not more than three hundred out of the four thousand who possess a household qualification, which will convey a fair idea of the wretched class to which they belong. On past occasions the rotes of the old freemen swamped the votes of the householders—on the present occa sion the latter stood alone. What was the result ? Why, that the Tories, unassisted by the old freemen, were only able to carry four out of their forty-eight candidates! The Mayor has returned five Tories to the Council ; but the fifth suc cessful candidate polled the same number of votes as one of the Liberal candidates, and the Mayor gave his casting vote in favour of the Tory. This was to be expected, and has excited no surprise. The glorious victory of Saturday has been followed up to day in the same spirit, by the election of 16 Aldermen, whose names I subjoin :—Mr. Joseph Hornby, Mr. Eyre Evans, Mr. William Stuart,,Mr. W. P. Freme, Mr. William Blain, Mr. William Brown, Mr. Thomas Leathorn, Mr. Thomas Smith, Mr. R. Berm, Mr. C. Hayworth, Mr. C. H. Jones, Mr. J. Bully, Mr. T. B. Barclay, Mr. Thomas Booth, Mr. George Robinson, and Mr. James Moon. The first five names in the list are those of the Liberal can pidates who were displaced by the five Tories; so that every candidate who came forward on the Liberal interest is now in the town council. The other gentlemen arc all persons of -large property and high respectability, as any one at all ac quainted with Liverpool will immediately perceive, and are all Liberals ! The Tories claim one of this number—Nr. Hayworth. Admitting the last-named gentleman to be a Tory, which it is said he denies, the new town council of Li verpool, nevertheless, consists as at the present moment of fifty-eight Reformers—men who deserve the name, and feel proud of it, in the widest acceptation of the term, and six Tories Poor Toryism 1 we have, in this community at least, put our feet upon the head of the monster, and all but crushed it for ever ! A good deal of amusement has been caused here by an at tempt made in the London Standard to account for the turn which the Municipal Elections have taken in this and other large towns, viz.—the absence of a religious feeling among the voters. What a pity the writer in in-the Standard was _not in Liverpool on Saturday last to witness theztOlite.peace able, sober, and becoming conduct of the householders in ten dering their votes for the respective candidates, which, if he ever witnessed a Liverpool election under the old system, he might have contrasted with the brutal, drunken, disorderly, and licentious conduct of the old freemen and their abettors. BRISTOL. The meeting of Councillors for the election of aldermen has just terminated. T. Daniel, Esq., was voted in the chair. On the motion of J. Cunningham, Esq., seconded by W. E. Acraman, Esq., and carried unanimously, reporters for the Bristol press were admitted. A long discussion ensued as to the mode in which the names of the Aldermen should be taken : a division took place on a motion of T. R. Guppy, Esq., that the names be taken alternately, when the numbers were 24 to 24. This mode was ultimately adopted, and the following gentlemen were chosen : *W. Fripp (C.) C. Pinney (proposed hy both parties) *T. H. Riddle (C.) R. Rickets (L.) **T. Stock (L.) E. Harley (proposed by ,both parties) J. Winwood (proposed by both) J. Vining (C.) •Nirr. Bushell (C.) *W. Watson (C.) J. K. Haberfield (C.) J. Maningford (L.) 1 Gibbs (C.) Roch (C.) G. W. Franklyn (C.) W. K. Waite (C.) Those marked thus (*),werc members of the old Corpora tion ; thus (") of the present Town Council. The first eight remain in office for six years, the last eight for three years. Of course we arc utterly unab!e to give more than the above facts. Several divisions took place, in which the majority varied from 1 to B. - Cristo! Gazette. LOUTH. The Reformers of this town have done their duty : they have returned all their men: It is true that of these the Tories claim two for their own, namely, Mr. Grant Allison and Mr. Trought ; but it is equally true that the latter has come in positively pledged to measures of local Reform, and that the former positively refused to pledge himself to the Tory party. He is not, therefore their representative, and has been supported by the Reformers, under the anticipation that he " is a good man and true." His knowledge and aptitude for business have recommended him to their choice ; and, know ing that he is guiltless of the old system, they aro willing to try him. He must be convinced that he is indebted fir his return to the Reformers alone, and therefore they trust thit his conduct will show that their good opinion of him has not been undeserved. Mr. R. Paddison withdrew his name from the nomination list three days before the election, and has offered himself for the town-clerkship. All persons acknowledge the preposterous absurdity of placing an inveterate enemy, like Mr. Lucas, in that office, but the " compensation" makes them hesitate : they forget the principle at stake when they think of the cost of enforcing it. What a cunning set of conspira tors these town-clerks have been ! They have so contrived matters that they must either remain, a hateful badge of the old system upon the fair form of the new one, where they will be a serious clog to its operation, or they must be converted into cumbersome pensioners upon the borough. Not one of the old Corporation is chosen ! Proof infallible of the univer sal detestation into which the self-elective system has fallen, and harbinger of incalculable good to society. May the new body never forget' that they are now the representatives of the people ! NORTH J. Foster, merchant 243 .1. Bogg, surgeon 230 J. B. Sharply, merchant 209 T. Lowther, currier 207 S. R.

FRIDAY.—The bright constellation of liberalism is Lord of the ascendant here, the Great Bear of Corruption and Toryism being totally, eclipsed- The brute is now fairly muzzled—his claws are shorn to the quick—his power to do harm is annihilated—he is prostrate. Since writing the above, evident symptoms of hydrophobia having appeared, it has become necessary to chain; him down to the earth to prevent his dashing himself to pieces—the sight of uniainled water throws him into the strongest convulsions. We left them a few hours since at the Oakley Asylum, under the care of a Tory Baronet, in a state of indescribable agony— an unique specimen of Corporate iniquity and rabid hide ousness. The Liberals have returned two Reformers to one Tory that is eight to four, twelve being the whole number of the Council. DENBIGH. The contest for the Town-Council has been triumphant to the cause of Reform, though the Tories managed to return a Member at the last election. Nine Reformers and three Tories constitute the Council ; and Thomas Hughes, Esq. of Astrad, a staunch and uncompromising Reformer, will be the Mayor. Mr. Wilson Jones may :et his house in order, as he will be no longer than the term of the present Parliament the M. P. for Denbigh. THE SUN, 'LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, NA. WARD. J. J. Moody, draper 178 N. P. Bellamy, glazier 169 A. J. Marshall, bookseller 146 J. Shepherd, gent. 139 the North Ward, and 320 in Ler did not vote, and 60 of the OXFORD, DEC. 31. The election of Aldermen took place this day, and was de cided in the following manner : ALDERMEN FOR SIX YEARS. R. Sheen, South Ward 27 Liberal T. Wyatt, West ditto 25 Liberal W. 11 Butler, do. do. 23 Liberal T. Nlallam, Centre Ward 21 Conservative C. Sadler, South ditto 21 • Liberal ALDERMEN FOR THREE YEARS. T. Ensworth, North Ward 20 Conservative. C. Tawacy, ditto ditto 19 ditto L. Wyatt, South ditto 16 Liberal. J. Parsons, ditto ditto 15 Conservative. J. I. Browning, North ditto 15 Liberal. Great exertions were made by the Tory party to elect two of the old aldermen, who were not returned as Councillors, but they were defeated ; the return seems to give general satisfac tion. It is supposed that Mr. W. H. Butler, a Liberal, will be elected Mayor. SWANSEA,, DEC. 26. The Corporation of Swansea is thorougly purged. Eighteen Eeformers are returned, composing the whole Town Council. The following polls will show the number of votes for each Liberal candidate : L. W. Dillwyn R. M. Phillips S. Benson D.

WARWICK, DEC. 31. 211 205 192 168 The six Aldermen were chosen this morning—all Liberals, viz :—John Tomes, Esq., the veteran Reformer ; W. Blin kenshop, Esq., Surgeon ; Thomas Hayden, Esq., Solicitor ; Mr. D. Mullory ; Mr. John Morris, Mr. W. \Valker. Mr. Wiimhurst, one of the three Tory Councillors elected, refused to qualify—thus two Tory Corporator alone survive. WORCESTER, DEC. 31. The twelve Aldermen were elected this morning—all Libe rals. This has put the finishing stroke. DONCASTER. The following six gentlemen were elected aldermen. The number of votes stood as follows : John Mirfiu 16 John Branson 13 Robert Torr 15 Joseph Lockwood, senior 13 Thomas Walker (Wilsic) 14 1 John Wright 10 COVENTRY. ALDERMEN. On Thursday the magnificent building, St. Mary's Hall, was for the first time appropriated to the use of the new Town Council, a body freely and openly elected by the citizens. Shades of departed Corporators—what a stone I The boards and tables of this noble room, which formerly used to groan under the weight of civic feasts, and whose roof has so often resounded with with the revelry of Aldermanic Bacchanalians ; in the precincts and purlieus of which, all manner of dark and unholy deeds have been transacted, and all sorts of vice, immo rality, and excess, found a hiding place. The door s are at length thrown open, and the floors trodden by a reformed, a responsible, and, we trust, an honest Corporation. The following gentlemen, all decided Reformers, were then chosen without opposition : To sit for six years. Henry Cadwallader Adams, Esq . :, of Anstey. Charles Harris, Esq., of Fleet-street. Mr. John Phillips, of Stoke. Mr. Bryan Dunn, of Smithford-street. Mr. Joseph Howe, of Spon-street. Mark Pearmen, Esq., of Little Park-street. To sit for three years.

Herbert proposed, and Mr. Hands seconded, Henry Cadwallader Ada ns, of Anstcy, Esq., to fill that office, which upon being put, was carried amidst great cheering. Mr. Cleophas Ratcliff was proposed by Mr. William Clarke, and seconded by Mr. A. Rotheram, to fill the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year, and was unanimously elected. All these gentlemen are good Reformers. NORWICH. Mr. BIONOLD proposed thte;eViudividual's name should be put from the Chair. Mr. FOSTER objected to this proposition, and moved the fol lowing list of persons to be chosen Aldermen : Mr. John Barwell Lewis Evans, M.D. Henry Bickbeck; Esq. Mr. John Marshall Thomas Brightwell, Esq. , Mr. Ebenezer Mills Mr. Henry Chamberlain, Jun. Philip John Money, Esq. Mr. John Gann Cousins, Upper Mr. John Warden Robbcrds Market Mr. W. Robinson, St. Faith's Mr. John Cozens, Sprowston Lan© Mr. Samuel Culley, Hellesdon Mr. Edward Willett Wm. England, M. D. Mr. John Youngs. Mr. SPRINGFIZLD seconded the motion. After some discussion and the moving of an Amendment by Mr. Bignold, the room divided ; f o r th e A men d men t p ropose d by Mr.Bignold 20, for the list 27. The Tories were thus signally defeated. The following were, of the Aldermen, selected to go out in I 831 :—Messrs. Barwell, Brightwell, J. G. Cousins, England, Marshall, Mills, Money, and Robberds. YARMOUTH.

A procession upon a grand scale will take place to-morrow upon the completion of the New Coun cil, by the installation of the New Mayor. Mr. Barton and Mr. Robinson will be recommended as Magistrates. COLCHESTER. On Thursday the New Town Council met to elect six Aldermen, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, when the following gentlemen (who are " All Reformers," and were not returned as Town Couneilloas,) were elected :—Mr. Ste phen Brown, Mr. John Thorogood, Mr. John Chaplin, Mr. H. D. Bland, Mr. Samuel Wittey, Mr. Richard Pat more.—The last three gentlemen, according to the provisions of the Act, will retain their office three years, but the three former will remain in office six years. IPSWICH. Qn Thursd ly last, the gentlemen elected by the different Wards to fill the office of Town Councillors assembled in the Council Chamber, to elect 10 Aldermen, in pursuance of the provisions of the New Municipal Reform Act. The proceed ings appeared to be watched with intense interest. The CHAIRMAN praccedcd to take the votes. The result was as follows : EEFORMERS. B. Brame, Esq. S. Alexander, Esq. J. Head, Esq. F. F.

For Mr. Notcutt 28 For Mr. Sparrowe 10 Majority he Mayor was elected Judge of the Court of Record fur 0 Trial of Civil Actions in the Borough. Fifteen of the uncil were appointed River Commissioners ; and all the SHREWSBURY. The names of ten gentlemen were proposed by the Liberal party, which proposal was met by a motion from Mr. Rice Wynne, that ten Tory Aldermen should be elected ; Brayne moved that five of each party should be Aldermen, both of which amendments were negatived, and the ten gen tlemen in the Liberal interest were elected. Their names al e as follows : Mr. Clement, St. John's-row, Mr. Hazledine, Dogpole-house, Mr. C. B. Treece, the Priory, Mr. J. W. Watson, Bell Stone, Mr. Tompkies. Abbey Foregatc, Mr. Marshall, Coleham, Mr. Ford, the College, Mr. Ward, High-street, Mr. J. B. Williams, the Cre3cent, M.. Locke, Belmont. A deputation from the Town Council requested Mr. Cle ment, senior, to acoept the office of Mayor ; but that gentle man declined the acceptance of the office. It is presumed that Mr. Hazlcdine will be requested to accept it. BRIDGNORTH. A correspondent of the Shrewsbury Chronicle writes as fol lows :—" In spite of the threats to tenants, held out by the Steward of a great proprietor of houses in this town, and laud in the neighbourhood, that the tenants must quit if they sup ported the Liberal Candidates for Councillors.

Yesterday (Thursday) being the day appointed by the Mu nicipal Corporation Act for the election of Aldermen in all the reformed and newly constituted boroughs, considerable in terest was excited with reference to the expected result, and the Hall was early filled with burgesses and others, in anxious expectation of witnessing the proceedings of the new Munici pal body in this their first official act, which, however took place in the Council-room, and necessarily (from its limited s i ze arid non-adaptation for the purposes of a public meeting) to the exclusion of the public. Mr. Browne, after observing that at a meeting held on the day previous, a list had been prepared (which he now pro duced) of persons to be proposed as Aldermen, and which had met with unanimous approbatio, named the following persons : Messrs. Norman Messrs. Sutcliffe Jones Barrow Gordon (Capt.) English Blair J. Phillott Crisp Mainwaring, Cap. C. F. Shenstone Ashman Kent Scott Mr. West seconded the nomination, observing that although there were some names for which he thought others might be advantageously substituted, yet he deemed it best on the whole to promote unanimity by mutual concessions; a feeling which had actuated the entire body, in preparing the proceedings of the day, and which had led to the present hrrmonious under standing. Mr. West nominated Mr. W. T. Blair. Mr. Norman put the nomination to the vote by a show of hands, when every hand present was held up, which called forth immense cheers. Mr. Norman then proceeded to con gratulate Mr. Blair upon the unanimous declaration in his favour, and took that opportunity of telling him that, in the discharge of his Magisterial duties, he might rely upon the ready assistance of all the Magistrates of the city and county. Mr. George, Town-Clerk, re-elected—subject to a com mittee of inquiry into his emoluments. Allowance to the Nayor, 5001. CARNARVON. In the last report it was stated, that the Reformers had a decided majority in the Town-Council. On adding up the poll, the return gave one Tory in the Large Ward, and the whole six in the Small Ward. Two of the gentlemen in that ward have since declared neutrality in that ward between the contending parties ; and another, a solicitor, who always acted on the Reform interest, has declared for the Tories.. This has given the Tories a temporary—very temporary triumph, a nd loud has been their rejoicing. The coercion of Mr. Assheton Smith's agents has been con tinued since the election, and on the members of the Common Council. Finding that the neutrality of the two gentlemen before referred to did not serve them, all that threats could do they have resorted to. Those gentlemen fill the highly re spectable situations of Manager and Cashier of the Common Bank; ar.d the former is High Sheriff for the county. Mr. Smith's chief receiving and electioneering agent, a Mr. Jo seph Jones, a great Radical of ancient days, but who, during his service with Mr. Assheton Sinith, has been the Tory bully, tried on that system rather extraordinarily on Wednes day, with the two Common-Councilmen employed at the Bank. His rage and arrogance were such, that even the pre sence of the High Sheriff could not restrain him ; and in a paroxysm which nothing but grievous disappointment could produce, he struck Mr. Preece, the cashier, who immediately claimed the protection of the High Sheriff. The representa tive of Majesty interfered, and with difficulty prevented the accredited agent" going on further, with what Orator Hunt was wont to desic-nate " constitution squeezes." Mr. Preece is a highly respectable man—a preacher among the Wesleyans —has served the highest elective municipal offices in the borough of Carnarvom—and is esteemed by all classes of the inhabitants. We suppose " the gentlemen of the long robe" will get a job out of it. So much for Tory fair play, and the constitutional tendency of the interference of Mr. Asshoton Smith and his agents. The election of Aldermen to-day, has resulted rather curi ously. The instructions to the Council are to elect six Alder men. Each party nominated six; and the result was nine votes each for W. Lloyd Roberts, Esq., and R. Griffith, Esq., both out and out Reformers; eight votes each for Mr. Robert Griffith, Mr. Peter Ellis, Mr. John Thomas, and R. M. Preece, Esq., all Reformers ; and the' same number for Mr. H. R. Williams, Captain Boileau, the aforesaid .Joseph Jones, and Mr. G. Johnston, all Tories; and seven each for Mr. Thomas Jones and Captain William Griffith, also Tories. The two first are elected Aldermen ; and as the Act has pro- vided no way of dealing with the double election, and as neither party will give way, the Recorder kept them locked up until midnight, when the day expired, and then they separated. The Tories are raging. Taking example by the pugilistic propensities of Mr. Joseph Jones, the small fry have tried_ it on all th e d a y, b u t in s o me i ns t a n c es to their discomfiture. They had taken possession of the door of the Guildhall, and would not let any person go near it. A pugilistic barber was particularly conspicuous; and enliibited a ludicrous spectacle, with his coa t t orn t o th e neck, and displaying n breadth of breach truly aldermanic. The new Corporation begin well, as they alleviated their confinement of twelve hours with the refreshing influence of a round of beef, a ham, and a couple of bottles of whiskey. The Reformers in the Council have stcod out threats and Ca jolry most gallantly. To-morrow will give a reforming Mayor, W. Roberts, HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 3 , 3 Trusses. ) CUMBERLAND. roars- heavy Lowland Meadow Hay .

Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan—had utterly failed to draw the attention of the people from Iteform---it fairly gave up the Tory_ cause as lost, and ''intiAated that the old corporators (who had returned the sup porters of Sir Robert Peel) were deservedly isejeeted by their fellow-citizens, as the old irresponsitsle system had been productive of • all manner of ,abuses. It ap-. peared to us that the film was beginning to drop from the eyes of our Contemporary, and that the stralsge delusion in which it had been for upwards twelve 'months, with regard to Conservatism, had either been dispelled or - was ahout to be rapidly dispelled. We could, however, hiale allowances for the Times, which is never much inclined to ad here pertinaciously to a ruined cause—but what means the doleful accompaniment of Blackwood ? " Supposing, _says that Journal, in an article ou the future,' supposing the most decided re-action to take place in public feeling in the British dominions, and the most - Conservative administration .to be placed at the helm, still the State is essentially revolutionized- The great organic change has been made, and cannot be Government is no - longer, and never again will be, as long as a mixed Constitution lasts, a free agent. It is impelled. by the inclinations of twelve hundred thousand electors, in whom supreme power is substantially vested." This is, at all events, a frank admission. Down to the passing of the Re form Act, Government was free; that is to say, that Parliament and the Government were one and the same. The Ministry were the agents of the Borough mongers, and though the combinations might be Va ried new and then, yet that was a matter .which did not concern the nation. But now that the House of Commons does not consist of nominees, but of repre sentatives of independent constituencies, it is obvious that Government, in order to lead, must follow-- that is, they must ascertain what measurer, are •ch,- manded by the nation, and will prove acceptable to 'it. The idea of considering Government as something ab stract,---as_independent of the .nation—of considering the p-ople as having nothing to do with the laws but to obey theirof• doing good to the people in spite of themselves—)of gaging them with Si: Acts and other measures a la Castlereagh--must be once and for ever - abandoned. The most violent Tories—the men that : hate the very name of Reform—must gra dually. resign themselves to the change. The Times hastens to abandon the last hope of the Tories--the Corporations.. But the Standard, equally aware of the importance of the victory to the cause of Reform, wishes to turn the Tory disaster in England to ac count in Ireland. Corporations, according to 9ur evening Contemporary, might be beneficial in the middle ages, as asylums in which the ireale might by association protect themselves against feudal tyrants, -and fellow industrious pursuits ; but as the laws of the land are now equal to the protection of all, Corporations, in so far .as they possess powers or immunities, are detrimental-to the community at large. And the conclusion at which our Contemporary arrives is, that there ought to be no corporations whatever in Ireland. We differ from our Contemporary altogether with respect to corporations. It is quite true that, to give to corporations in the pre sent day the powers held by them - in the middle ages, would be anything but beneficial. Their arbitrary taxation—their hostility to improvements in the arts— their endeavours, by tire imposition of high premiums on entry, and by throwing impediments in the way of competition, to confine trade to a certain number of • families, were found to be injurious to the respec tive communities, and the evil was corrected by the settlement of industrious 'strangers beyond the limits of the corporations. But these were 'evils iiie not necesserny eeeeeeted with corporations. evils resulted from neglecting to mothlY corpo rations according to the w'. of the age. Nay, 'Treat evils ha-,'e been experienced in most of the manufacturing towns of England, from the want of some municipal body invested with nuthority to. at tend to the police, the sanitary regulations, &c., of those places. The defect was imperfectly supplied, occasionally at a heavy expense, by local acts; but the powers of the Commissioners under these ,local acts were generally confined to a 'specillic object." , In' all the new towns realses of unsightly hotels have , been hastily reared on undmined ground, by individuals who speculated.on the necessities of the labouring classes; and it is now too late to remedy the evil. In :Manchester there are as many as three hundred indi viduals livinc in hovels without yards attached to them, and wall one necessary common to the whole. Had a Municipality, with suitable powers, been in existence, such nuisances would never have been suffered. The i' , letropolis is another instance. The Corporation of the City of London 'is 'greatly in need of Reform ; but. still how well ordered is the City, compared to the vile quarters to the East and North of it, where hundreds of thouiends ,of human beings live in a state of the most squalid wretchedness. Had any body, possessed authority in the quarter in question, it would never have suffered so many filthy hovels to be heaped together on undrained ground. The wonder is how such neighbourhoods are riot the constant abodes . of pestilence. As it is, you may pass a thcusand men before you see one who is not dwarfish and sallow. No, it is wrong to confound Corporations with these abuses. Properly regulated, Corporations serve to nourish public spirit, and to promote good or der and happiness in a community. We have no doubt that England will greatly benefit from the Reformed Municipahies which it has obtained ; and the people of England will not be so unjust as to seek to withhold from Ireland what they have benefited by themselves. — Morning Chronicle. A letter from " An Englishman" in this day's Times will command, we are sure, very serious atten tion from every man, Constituent as well as Repre sentative, who thinks what remains of the British Mo 7 narchy worth protecting. The loyal and Constitu tional electors, indeed, thronghout the kingdom, arc not they to whom, in the first instance, the rebuke of our Correspondent need be addressed ; nor is it to them that we are anxious to applv our own remonstrances or censures. The parties aimed 'at—the offending par ties—the culprits in this 'case, are the Members of the House of Commons, calling themselves Conservatives, professing a solicitude to maintain the Constitution, and to resist and frustrate the measures. of the Mel bourne Ministry, in so far as- they were manifestly subservient to the nhemes of O'Connell and his gang, for the subversion of the Protestant Church, and the dissolution of the British empire. The recreant Con servative Members of whom we Speak are those Who, during three-fourths of the last Session, effeminately and shamefully betrayed their trust, by absenting themselves from their duty' in Par liament on occasions when the constituents who had sent them thither, and the political leaders to whom they had pledged themselves as men of honour, de mantled their Most active and strenuous aid. It is on the remembrance of the last session and its conse quences, that we would found _our ,warnings for the future. The session of 1835 began well. Th e ear lier divisions, if not affordingdirect majorities in favoUr of the Conservative Government, came within a very few votes of a maioritY, Mid if persevered in with a manly' and steadfast spirit by thoSe who had supported , Sir Robert Peel, would have s orely perplexed the N'Vhig-Radical adventurers in thei r plane both of over turning the Conservative Ministry, and carrying on their own O'Connell syetem of mis-government. But the attendance of Conservatives soon became lax and of Commons f o rbore to s h ame t h e unpro fit a bl e worthless.

I NON-COMPLIANCE WITH TIIE PROVISIONS OF TIIE PAL BILL IN THE BOROUGII OF 7.;I 7 .WPORT.—The Councin s met at ten on Thursday morning, and broke up at mid*! t without electing the six Aldermen as directed by the Mur:- cipal Bill. The Tory Councillors wished to choose them from th, Burgesses ; this the Reformers would not agree to ; it was contrary to the spirit of the times. None should, they were determined, have a scat with them, who were not placed there by the popular voice. Their proposal Was, that the Aldermen should be chosen from the Councillors, three from each ward— i.e., three Tories and three Reformers ; and that the Bur gesses should elect six more to fill up the vacancies. Many attempts were made to accommodate matters in the course of the day, but to no purpose. In the evening a public meeting of the Burgesses was called, at which a requisition was signed by about 300 in less than an hour, and handed to the nine Councillors on the Reform intcrest, praying them to stand firm to their proposal, and expressing the unqualified appro val of their conduct by the Burgesses. Before they broke up the Council, a pledge was given by both 'sides gig no meeting should take place without its being, called by five of the Coun ciflois, of which five days,notice.shonld be given. We have now no Aldermen, no Mayor, Town. clerk, Coroner, &c. The. provisions of the &et not having 'been complied with, perhaps No Charier, nor Members for the Borough, indeed no 13orourill. We are preciously near QUeen-street. Shall we have a miazdann:.4 to show eausc why we have not chosen Aldermen, Mayor, &c:, as directed by the Act—or is it all up with the whole concern If so, we mast apply for a new charter of incorporation—this, will give us a new boundary, and • the unpleasant feelings at present existing between us and our Cowes friends will be busied with the old unknown boundary line. • GERMAN PAPERS. PETERSBURGII, DEC. 14.—YesterdaY, the Ist (13th) of December, his Excellency the Earl of Durham, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary`df his Britannic Majesty, the Countess of Durham, and the Envoys Extraordinary, and 'Ministers Plenipotentiary of Sweden and Norway ; Baron 'Padrestimas of Denmark : , Count de Blome, of Ba varia, Count de Larchenfeldt, of Saxony, Baron de Luchrot, • of PrusFia, M. de Mieleriamaun, and of the Xwo.Sicilics Prince de Butera, had the honeur to be received by her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Helen ; Baron Palmstierna and Count do Larchenfeldt had also the honour to be received by the Grand Duke Michael. According to the accounts from Cronstadt, of Dec. 10, the Captains of the ships that are ready to sail bad began to have a channel cut in the ice, in order to - get out to sea, have found, after several days' labour, in which little progress was made, that it was impossible to succeed, and have resolved to remain in the port for the winter.

AIM-LA-CHAPELLE, DEC. 20.—Much as we wished here, and could not but wish for our own interest, that the proposals of the Cologne Rhenish Society, respecting the iron railroad to be made from Cologne to the Belgian frontier, and the statutes of the Society sent for approbation to Ber lin, might not be sanctioned, we were, however, disagreeably surprised by the news which we received . a few days ago, that the King's Ministers had not only rejected the pro posals and statutes, but had-thrown a number of difficulties in the way of the undertaking, and diffieulties,,too, of such a nature, that it is to be feared the Company will be actually dissolved. The managing Committee of the Society is summoned, as we hear, to meet at Cologne on the 16th January, 1836, because the President of the Go vernment there has received positive instructions to nego elate only with:the Committee and not' with the Board of Di rectors, because the latter has not yet been recognized. We are, of course, very anxious for the result of this meet ing, but fear, from many indications, that the Committee will not be able to come to an understanding with the Ministry upon the conditions. Should the apprehension prove well fonnded, the whole undertaking would be for the present at an, encl . ,. aod.all..tho.time, and. pains bestowed on this interesting v.urir, so important to the country, and the capense bestowed on the many admirably conducted preliminary proceedings, surveys, &c., would 'be thrown away. As matters now stand, the only.hope• seems' to be that. the. State itself will resolve to take up the work on its own account. This would, perhaps, be the best, and there seems to be no reason why. it should not • be so, because the interest of the State is very much con cerned in this affair, even setting aside all the advantages that trade and manufacture might derive from it. This may be shown in a few words. France and Belgium are sensible of the importance of iron rail-roads, on an extensive scale ; and they have resolved, and will carry their resolution into effect to connect Paris with Brussels, and Brusse:s with \Terriers, by iron railroads. When this work is completed the journey from Paris to Verviers will be 'performed in 24 hours, and France needs but some reinorqueurs bu e ilt at. Paris to be able to convey in 24 hours a large military force, with all requisites, from its capital to the Prussian frontiers. Would it not be desirable that Prussia should be able, to perform similar wonders ?—fur instance, by an iron railroad from Magdeburg to Eufren. It must come to this. These are not times when a State can without danger remain behindhand in such things—least of all - Prussia behind its powerful neighbours. Count Arnim, President of our Government, is gone to Berlin, to endea-, your to have the road from the Rhine pass through Aix la-Chapelle.—Extra Supplement to the Allgemeine Zeitung, Dec. 27.
